Bitters already existed 250 years ago,
but stomach bitters were the prevailing
style and primarily meant for medicinal
use. Early bartenders added bitters to
their cocktails to improve the taste of
these mixed drinks. After prohibition
almost all bitters had vanished from
the market but were rediscovered at
the end of the 20th century with modern
interpretations of classic style bitters
and new and innovative flavors.
The Bitter Truth started producing
cocktail bitters in 2006.

The Bitter Truth sticks to the "classic
method" of producing bitters by macerating
roots, seeds, barks, fruits, herbs
and plants in an alcohol base.
All ingredients are 100 % natural to
guarantee the best quality and taste.

The Old Time Aromatic Bitters are
bitter and tangy to the taste with hints
of cinnamon, cardamom, anise and
cloves; typical gingerbread aromas
that are perfectly suited for drinks
based on aged spirits like Whisk(e)y,
Rum, Brandy and Tequila.
